VOLUTA.
Voluta is a limited edition laser cut sculpture made of translucent high impact polystyrene. Fun and easy to construct, it offers art lovers of all ages the opportunity to create and own a complex, luminous “paper” sculpture. In minutes you can transform a two dimensional piece of paper into a swirling three dimensional vortex. VOLUTA is meant to hang in a window or near a light source, but can also sit on a pedestal or horizontal surface. Several feet of monofilament is included for hanging. Each VOLUTA is invidually signed and numbered by the artist.
One of Flavorwire's 100 gifts for 100 Cultural Icon, Voluta is price at $195 and u can order it through Mia Pearlman's site.
Mia Pearlman is both a recipient of a 2008 Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant and a 2009 Established Artist Fellowship from UrbanGlass.
Artist's Statement
I make site-specific cut paper installations, ephemeral drawings in both two and three dimensions that blur the line between actual, illusionistic and imagined space. Extremely sculptural and often glowing with natural or artificial light, these imaginary weather systems appear frozen in an ambiguous moment, bursting through or hovering within a room. Existing only for the length of an exhibition, this weightless world totters on the brink of being and not being, continually in flux. It is my mediation on creation, destruction, and the transient nature of reality.

INFLUX.
INFLUX draws people into Roebling Hall from the street, transforming the gallery into a swirling wind tunnel.
